That black wattle grows like weeds around Brisbane and can tolerate poor soils and droughts.
Casuarinas around here (unless coastal) are slower growing and tend to get problems, rot etc. Nah, junk I reckon.
Wattle is the go, burns real hot. You prep that place right, drive a water tanker down the rows every now and then, mulch fertilize etc they'll go nuts.
And they aint gonna be some 50'+ felling job either.
Downside is they dont coppice for regrowth.
